The iPhone Photography Awards exist and here are its winning snapshots

The iPhone Photography Awards (IPPAWARDS) have been in judgement of global iPhone-tography since 2007 and are in no way affiliated to Apple - just in case you think this is another marketing gimmick.

It should come as no surprise that such a photography contest should exist given that we’re constantly snapping pictures with our phones and that the iPhone’s camera is one of the best around. Before you start thinking that this is a contest based on post-processing skills, the rule is each entry can only be shot and then edited on an iOS device so even the most professional of Photoshoppers have to rely on mostly raw shooting talent.
